WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Cameron Miller earned his first honor of the indoor track & field season when U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) named him the Division I Men's National Athlete of the Week on Dec. 16.
Miller, a graduate student, opened his 2024-25 season with a 32.43 in the 300m on Friday night at the Blue Demon Holiday Invitational in Chicago.
He became the fifth fastest 300m runner in NCAA history and his time was the sixth fastest overall. Both top times in the event were run by Jacory Patterson at Florida and Virginia Tech, respectively.
His time was the fastest run by a Big Ten athlete after Tyler Johnson from Ohio State ran 32.55 on Dec. 2, 2022. Miller is one of three athletes already this season to produce a top 15 time in the event, joining Virginia Tech's Judson Lincoln (32.37 – third) and Texas' Logan Popelka (32.54 – 11th).
Miller is the first Boilermaker to earn USTFCCCA National Athlete of the Week honors since Chukwuebuka Enekwechi on Jan. 13, 2014.
After the holiday break, Purdue looks ahead to the 2025 portion of the schedule with a trip to the Rod McCravy Memorial Invite hosted by Kentucky from Jan. 10-11.
